Stop deportation - Urgent Action Sat. 31 Aug

NCADC Supporter | 30.08.2002 14:15

Aziz Ahmed, a political refugee from East Africa, has been in detention for over a year. He was refused asylum wrongly, according to the UNHCR) because he travelled on a false Somali passport, the only way he and his family could get to the UK.

Now Aziz is in grave danger of being sent back. Worse than that, his wife, Husna, and four-year-old daughter, Asya, went missing from Immigration HQ in Croydon, over a year ago. This is one of the worst cases we have come across in nine years of detention and imprisonment of asylum seekers.

Beverley Hughes has reviewed Aziz Ahmed's case, and has decided not to show compassion and is going ahead with the deportation tomorrow.

Please participate tomorrow - Saturday 31st August ...

Vigil Outside Harmondsworth - starting at 12:00. Channel 4 will be there - be ready to show your disgust at the Home Office's action.

Heathrow Terminal 4 - meet at 5 pm at the coffee-shop on far left hand side of Departures on top floor. Mobile contacts are Emma 07786 517379, and Lizzie on 07867 690332. The flight is BA47 to Dar es Salaam. please pass the message on to as many people as you can.

We do believe a show of public disgust will have an effect on British Airways - they have reacted with compassion in the past. they are under Government directive to carry out the deportation so we have to constitute a compelling reason for British Airways, to halt it.
